Reply To: Quarantine
I never used to quarantine at all, then i introduced whitespot into my discus tank :cry: luckily i did not lose any fish although they all suffered from whitespot
(Heat did the trick, send the tank to 90-92f if your fish can handle it(mainly Amazonians), the parisite’s life cycle is speeded up and quickly killed with a dose of medicine)
This was the first disease outbreak in my tanks for over 6 years, it has also been my last.
I now quarentine for 1 month if i have spare tankspace, if not it is usually for a week to see if the new fish are ok. Any problems will usually show themselves in a week.
